They were not in it for long but it seems they have had a chance to get to know each other outside the villa – with entrepreneur Rob, 25, uploading a picture of the pair with their hands on their legs.

He told the Sun’s Bizarre column in an exclusive chat they got on really well at lock-down, which is when the contestants meet before and after entering the villa.

A new group of girls, which included dental nurse Shannen, 23, were put into a separate house where the boys had been sent to.

And Rob, along with four other lads, was put into the normal villa after the girls were split from their male partners.

He denied the two of them were in a relationship but says they both admitted they would have coupled up were they in the same place and will start to see each other.

And in his post on Twitter and Instagram, he declared he was not leaving the show “empty handed”.

“We’re not in a relationship as we’ve just met but we are both from Dublin so we will most likely see each other around.”
